Actually I was surprised too, was expecting 18, hoping for a least 17. I ran 73 all the way home and it averaged 19.8, then today I was running late as I got stuck behind and accident so I ran 80 and it was still around 19. Driving into New Orleans it registered over 20! its not hand calculated, but it will not be that far off! Plenty power in this 6.7l!!
Feels like a Ferrari compared to my lifted 4dr jeep Wrangler with 35s! Oh and they finally put a/c seats in the trucks!!!

Ive got an 05 with the 6.0 in it, not very impressive, but its OK, it managed to pull my TG back from NY, Ive heard the 6.7 is a good engine, I once pulled my 33 OL with my John Deer, but just in the driveway

I used to have a F150 Fx4 that I pulled my 25ol so I am used to the wheelbase and when I pulled the 33 with a couple 150s, it helped.
strange thing is that i can back up my trailer into my house better with the longer wheelbase than the short expedition.. wierd!!
My parking spot is rather weird, its on side of the house... but, I have to pull up the street directly in front of my house that dead ends in my front yard.
So, I pull up the street, then back in to the left facing back to hit the neighbors driveway where there is a mailbox right on the left of the driveway. Then go around a bush and then to the right back into my yard and slip in behind my huge a/c unit. all with limited visibility of the neighbors house. My experince level is very good, but this seems to be easier with a truck.. odd!
